For Weeks, Eggs Were Thrown at My Husband’s Grave—One Day, I Saw Who It Was, and It Nearly Destroyed My Life… STORY OF THE DAY

Every Sunday, I went to my husband’s grave to be with him until I saw raw eggs broken on the stone. It broke my heart to find out it was someone I trusted the most, even though at first I thought it was a cruel joke. I caught the bad guy in the act.

Owen, my husband, died a year ago. It happened quickly. It’s not time to get ready or to be careful. He was taken away from me like that by a heart attack. After 25 years, they were gone in an instant.

It felt like I had been walking on fog for months. It all broke. I tried to keep things together for our kids even though I was falling apart inside. Every Sunday, I would visit his grave. It turned into a habit and a way for me to be close to him.

It was quiet in the cemetery. Peaceful. Owen, me, and the flowers I brought every week. It seemed like I could breathe there. Still, something changed three months ago.

I thought I was seeing things for the first time. Eggshells. Owen’s gravestone had yellow egg yolk all over the base of it.

“Why would any one do this?” I whispered to myself as I bent down to wash it. I kept looking over my shoulder because I thought maybe the kids were just making fun of me.

I thought of cleaning it as a one-time thing to do. It started again, though, after two weeks. This time, there were at least six eggs. Broken and going down the stone. Even though I scrubbed it again, my heart felt heavier.

I tried to get help from the graveyard staff.

I told the man behind the bar, “Someone has broken into my husband’s grave.” He didn’t seem interested and didn’t raise his head much.

“You can file a report,” he told me, holding out a clipboard.

Is that it? Do you not have any cameras or other things?” I asked a question.

He shook his head. Not in the most latest parts. I’m sorry.

I filed the report anyway, even though I knew it wouldn’t help.

The third time I saw eggs, I cried. I didn’t even try to hide it. It wasn’t just the filth; Owen felt like he was being watched, even when he was dead.

“What from him do you wish?” I screamed across the empty graves. I could hear my own words.

I couldn’t fall asleep the night before he died, so I stayed awake. Owen’s memories kept going through my mind. I could hear his laugh, and I could feel how he would hold my hand as we walked.

By five in the morning, I was fed up. I put on my coat because I wanted to go to the cemetery. Even though the sun wasn’t up yet, everything seemed still.

As I got closer to his tomb, I stopped.

Eggshells. There are new ones all over the place. And a number.

Something was in their hands as they stood by the stone. egg. My breath was getting tight in my throat, so I stopped. It was a loud sound when the egg hit the stone in the still morning air.

“Hey!” I yelled with a shaking voice. “What Are you doing?”

The man tensed up but didn’t turn. My heart sank as I ran toward them.

I could not breathe as they slowly turned.

“Madison?” My sister turned her pale, wide-eyed face back to me. She still held an egg in her shaking hands.

“Why are you here?” she asked in a high-pitched voice.

You! I stopped myself. “You have been the one acting this way!”

Her face turned funny. “You wouldn’t know.”

“Try me,” I said as I got closer.

She laughed in a mean way. “Do you not think he was perfect?” The loved kid and the caring dad. That man lied to you for years.

“What are you talking about?” I began to stumble.

Madison had eyes that looked right through me. “We slept together.” She was Emma five years ago. Five Years. He told me I would have money and a future. I didn’t get anything when he went through. Not a single coin. All of it belonged to you and your lovely kids.

I thought there was no ground under my feet.

“No,” I whispered. You’re not telling the truth.

“Am I?” she asked back sharply. “Why don’t you look at his will?” You’ll see.

While I fixed her, my hands were shaking. “What could you do? In me? To him?)

Her voice got very cold. “You’re not here to say bad things about me. He also lied to you two. He made promises that he never kept.

I spoke slowly. The words wouldn’t come out.

She let the egg fall and watched it land. Emma, everything has always been fine for you. The perfect life and partner. Oh, he wasn’t perfect then.

As I watched her walk away, her words kept going through my head.

Being on the wet ground next to Owen’s tomb made my head spin. The things Madison said hurt like knives. “We slept together.” Five Years. What made her say something so awful? What right did she have to say that the man I loved, trusted, and raised a family with had betrayed me?

But questions started to come up.

I thought about Owen’s always vague last-minute reasons for having to travel for work. That simple smile would make him say, “It’s work, Em.” I had never asked him anything. So why would I? That was my husband.

After that, there were calls. He’d sometimes go outside and say, “Just a client,” but his voice was rough and low.

You and Madison. Owen and she had always been a little close. too close? I remembered how she laughed at his jokes, even the ones I thought were funny. When she thought no one else was around, she patted his arm.

I didn’t know if I could believe it, but I nodded.

Putting Owen’s name on the gravestone hurt my chest. “Did you lied to me?” I whisper. Did I really know you?

I didn’t really see Madison running off. She turned around and didn’t look back. I didn’t call after her. I cleaned the yolk and shells for a long time while shaking hands by the grave. I swept it clean until the smooth stone was all that was left.

The next afternoon, I saw Carly, Madison’s daughter, at the food store. She was holding a basket of vegetables and looked surprised to see me.

It was “Aunt Emma,” she said with a smile. “how are you?”

I kept quiet. “I’ve been better.”

Her smile got weaker. “It’s about the grave, right?” What happened was told to me by my mom.

I began to forcefully swallow. “Carly, did you know about your Mom and Owen?”

She scowled, not understanding. “Know What?”

My voice was almost a whisper as I said, “She said they… had an affair.”

Carly’s eyes got really big in shock. “What?” Not sure. That was the last thing she told me about it.

“She says it went on for five years.” That he promised her money, but—” When my voice broke, I stopped.

Carly’s face turned into a look that was somewhere between doubt and shock. When you said, “Wait,” your mom told you that. She hasn’t talked about having an affair at all. all the time. Aunt Emma, to be honest, that doesn’t sound at all like Uncle Owen.

I looked her straight in the eye. “Are you sure?” She looked so sure of herself. She said, “He lied to both of us.”

Carly let out a sigh. “Aunt Emma, Mom’s been mad for years. You already know. She always thought you had a great family, a good marriage, and a stable life. She believes she was caught with the short end of the stick.

Is it true that she’s angry? I asked, feeling a twinge of shame.

Danielle said “yes.” “Yes, it’s not fair, but still.” In this way, she sees things. I never saw anything between her and Uncle Owen, though. Never ever. I think I would have seen something if something was going on.

I licked my lips. “You are sure?”

Carly gave a firm nod. Of course. It’s possible that Mom is saying this to hurt you. It hurts me to say this, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

As I watched her, I wasn’t sure if I should feel better or more confused.

I felt Carly’s hand on my arm. “Did you not love Uncle Owen?”

I agreed, but my throat was getting tight.

She said in a soft voice, “Then hold on to it.” “Don’t let Mom take that away from you.” .

In the late evening, I looked at an old picture of Owen and me in my living room. He put his arm around my shoulders and smiled. We looked like we were very happy.

Madison might have been lying. She might not have been. I could never be sure. But I wasn’t going to let her anger ruin my Owen memories.

My thoughts went to our kids and how much they love their dad. They should remember him as the loving father he was, not as Madison tried to make him out to be.

I took a deep breath in and wiped away a tear.

“Goodbye, Madison,” I said to myself. You’re not pulling him away from me.

The next morning, Sunday, I went back to the cemetery. I put new flowers by Owen’s grave. For the first time in months, the peaceful, quiet air made me feel better.
